The Souvenir That Travels Well: Why Tourists Are Obsessed with Dubai-Made Chocolates

The concept of bringing a souvenir back home when one visits another country will never go out of style. A person tells a younger cousin or a friend he’s going to visit another country, and they will have more knowledge about what specialties and gifts he can bring from there. Considering a global tourist hub like the UAE, the expectations would automatically increase because, wow, you’re going to Dubai and you’re not bringing the viral Dubai kunafa chocolate back home? You deserve to be respected.

Glossy, Filled, and Irresistible: The “Dubai Chocolate” Craze

Let’s think about it – what is making these Dubai-made chocolates so viral? Across the UAE, whichever duty-free shop or any store you visit, these chocolates will catch your eye, gleaming on top of clean, fancy shelves. Elegant, glossy, and classy boxes of locally made filled chocolate bars infused with unmistakable flavours. I honestly don’t blame the tourists – the appeal is just too hard to resist.

These chocolates are not your regular chocolate bars; they are pistachio-filled, lotus-filled, Nutella-filled, and come with many more exciting fillings. Deriving a great deal of influence from the internet bloggers and TikTok ASMR trends, these chocolate bars have far surpassed the snack status – they are now invaluable gifts and souvenirs for your standard Dubai tourist to take back home for his or her loved ones. 

However, if someone comes as a tourist and has too many UAE destinations in mind, he must have a very short time span to deal with the shopping part. He might also face the problem of unfamiliarity with the markets and places. To ease this for the tourists, Martoo helps them order these viral Dubai chocolates in bulk at wholesale prices, right at their doorstep, wherever they are across the UAE.

The Rise of Edible Souvenirs

Edible souvenirs have always been a league of their own. Like you would appreciate if a person went to some country and brought you a nice mug, but you would be exhilarated if they brought you a cute box of their signature delight. For example, Turkish pistachio Baklava or Omani Halwa, for that matter. The thing is, these souvenirs are just more special than anything a tourist might like to take back home, because:

• They’re personal: It is deeply beautiful to gift food one has tasted and enjoyed.

• They suit everyone: Everyone loves an eatable gift.

• They’re cultural: These gifts offer a “bite” of the place they came from.

• They’re beautiful: They often come in beautiful packaging.

In this context, Dubai-made chocolates hit all these three notes. They’re rooted in local tastes and packaged with exquisite international elegance that makes tourists want to buy them.

Tradition Never Tasted So Good: A Bite of The Middle East

These viral Dubai chocolates come in many flavours and offer a bite of the place they come from. For instance, the Fex chocolates include:

• FEX Pistachio Kunafa (Inspired by the famous Arabic dessert Kunafa, and is a viral trend on social media)

• FEX Nutella Chocolate (Offers a true East-meets-West moment with its cultural appeal and the globally loved Nutella filling)

• FEX Lotus Chocolate (blends sweet lotus crunch with smooth chocolate)

The Gifting Psychology Behind Chocolate

Even outside the Dubai chocolate chatter, chocolate already holds a special place in the world of gifting, because it is an emotionally rich gift, embodying a unique touch of celebration, nostalgia, and comfort, and everyone loves chocolates.

And when a tourist takes these trending Dubai chocolates to their home country after a visit, it serves as a gift that says, “I wanted you to try something I loved there.”

Global Demand: More Than a Trend

These FEX chocolates are more than just something that is traveling in suitcases anymore. With the rising demand, they’re showing up on international gift hampers, e-commerce platforms, and much more. Their growing presence in other countries like the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia reflects how flavour-forward chocolates are becoming a true export category for the UAE.

·       For diaspora communities, they offer a literal taste of home.

·       For locals abroad, they’re a piece of a past trip.

·       For first timers, they’re an invitation to explore.
